61. OVEN TIMER

Sat Apr 20, 2019, 05:25 PM

Apr 2019

When my daughter was little, and she didn't want to do something now, like go to bed or do a chore, we would agree to set the oven timer so that when it beeped, it was time to do that thing. That way, she could finish watching her program or whatever.

When she got to be around 11, and I didn't want to take her out shopping for new clothes, she started to do the same thing to me.

There is a deeper point here if I can figure out what it is, but the lesser point is that oven timers are loud and don't let you forget things.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
